Home audio & video forum: RCA vs Coaxial vs S-Video Cable

I have a DVR unit with 2 TV's connected to it. One TV is next to the DVR and the other is at the other end of my house and will require a 75' wire to connect. I'm trying to the get the optimum picture quality on this 2nd TV (it's a 42" Plasma) and was told by my dish provider that coaxial would be the best situation for me since they recommend 12' max distance for the S-Video and 20' for the RCA. Has anyone had experience with extended length RCA or S-Video wire? Would I experience an increase in resolution on my 2nd TV by using RCA or S-Video over Coaxial cable for the 75' distance?
